Looks like a Model A to me.

don't think it's a 32 Pontiac...I don't see landau bars for the top.
 
 Why do people always stand in the EXACT place I need to look at to identify a car?

Fintail is right, it does look like a Model A but then so did everything in the early 30s
 

 

 
Your uncle is probably right, popular-price roadsters and coupes back then weren't all that large.

I'm gonna guess 1932 Ford Model A. I googled some pics, and the Chevy had landau bars, just like the Pontiac. The Plymouth didn't have landau bars, but the back window had a bit more forward rake to it. The Model A rear window was totally upright, though.

I am pretty sure it is a Model A. They are pretty small in 2-door form, looks just like that car. I don't know how to distinguish the year of an open car from that angle, but it is 1928-31.

I have some old photos of my parents and they have this car which I am not familiar with, these were taken in Hong Kong in c1952. It could be a Hillman cos after this car they definitely bought a Hillman. To view the pictures go to this Skydrive site:

Without doing any research, it looks like a 'late '40s Holden to me. That would be an Australian General Motors car, but it's just a spontaneous guess.

I think it's a ca. 1950 Morris Oxford. The roofline is very Morris.
